Eleven Creighton students made undergraduate research presentations at the annual National Institutes of Health INBRE (IDeA Networks for Biomedical Research Excellence) Nebraska meeting in Grand Island recently.

In the oral presentations, biochemistry major Zachariah Holmes working with Creighton professors Garrett Soukup in biomedical sciences and Julie Soukup in chemistry, won first place.

In the poster presentations biology major Troy Hubbard working with Creighton professor Karin van Dijk in biology and University of Nebraska at Lincoln professor Jim Alfano from the Center for Plant Science Innovation also won first place.

Ten undergraduate and three graduate schools in Nebraska work together to recognize the importance of biomedical research and to provide opportunities to pursue such cutting edge breakthroughs at the interface of biology, chemistry, physics, and medicine through the INBRE project.
